Similarly, thelength of the lining is such e0 In the drawing wherein like reference as to enable the lower edge thereof' to be 9e Y characters indicate corresponding parts turned inwardly andthen downwardly prothroughoutv the `various views viding an outer, inner and intermediate ply Figure l is a side elevation of a boyscoat 10, ll land 12. The inward turning of the constructed in accordance with the Vpresent coat material` and lining is such as to bring invention, thelower end ofthe body portion the edges ofthe fold lines ofthe plies 9 and 95 thereof at one sidebeing partially upturned `9 of the coat material and the plies l0 and 1l and the lower end of the sleeve illustrated, ofthe lining intoengagement, after which being partially broken away. f said fold lines are interconnectedby stitch- Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary longiing 13, the nature of which is such as to entudinal section through the lower end yof the f able lit to be pulled out without difficulty 109 whereupon the innermost plies of the coat material and lining may be let out, and again stitched for the obvious purpose of increasing the length of the garment.

This increased length from the original construction of the coat as per the full lines in Figure @being illustrated by the dotted lines in the same figure.

The same manner of constructing the coat sleeves at the outer ends thereof is identical with the manner of constructing the lower ed e of the coat body, as clearly illustrated in igure 3 and the description set out previously herein, with reference tothe body o the coat, will suflice for the sleeve construction.

In View of the foregoing description when considered in V conjunction with the accompanying drawing, it will be apparent that I have provided a novel, simple and serviceable coat construction wherein the length of the coat body as well as the sleeves may be increasedby unskilled workers, and even though I have herein. shown and described the invention asV consisting of a certain manner or method of construction, it is nevertheless to be understood that some changes may be made therein, without affecting the spirit and scope of the appended claim.

lHaving-thus described my invention, what I 'claim as new,-and'- desir'etosecure byfLetters-Patent, is:

In a coat construction wherein the material formingV the coat body and sleeves as well as the linings thereof are of a length greater than the normal length of the 'coat 0r sleeves and linings therefor, said eXtrav lengths being turned inwardly and then downwardly to provide two eXtra plies of the coatmaterial andv lining inwardly of the material and lining, the'fold's of the lining being disposed above and o n the same general plane as the folds of the coat material and a row ofV stitching between the meeting foldlines of the extra plies of coatmaterial and` lining, all in= a manner andy for the pur-V pose described. y Y
